And every Court having by law a seal and Clerk is considered a Court of Record.

That he enlisted in the Army of the United States in the year (d)                      , with                      and served in the                      (e) regiment of the                      line, under the following named officers :
[Here set forth the names and rank of the Field and Company Officers; the time he left the service; (and if he served under more than one term of enlistment, he must specify the particular period, and rank and names of his officers;) the town or county and State in which he resided when he entered the service; the battles, if any, in which he was engaged, and the country through which he marched. [This form is to be varied so as to apply to the cases of officers and persons who belonged to the militia, volunteers, navy, &c.]
He hereby relinquishes every claim (f) whatever to a pension or an annuity, except the present, and he declares that his name is not on the Pension Roll of any Agency in any State, or (if any) only on that of the Agency in the State of
Sworn to and subscribed the day and year aforesaid.
A. B.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion (g) that the above named applicant was a revolutionary soldier, and served as he states.
I                      of the Court of do hereby certify (h) that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court in the matter of the application of                      for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office (i) this day of                      &c.
If, on examination of the proper record, the names of applicants, making such declaration, cannot be found, they will produce such proof as the rule given in note (j) points out.
Every applicant who claims a pension by virtue of service in the State Troops, Volunteers or Militia, except those who belonged to the New Hampshire Militia and State Troops of Virginia, will make and subscribe a declaration similar to the foregoing, with the following additions, viz:
(k) We, A. B., a Clergyman, residing in the                      and C. D. residing in (the same)                      , who has hereby certify, that we are well acquainted with                      , who has subscribed and sworn to the above declaration; that we believe him to be years of age; that he is reputed and believed, in the neighborhood where he resides, to have been a soldier of the Revolution, and that we concur in that opinion.
Sworn and subscribed the days and year aforesaid.
[And then will follow the certificate of the Court.]
And the said Court do hereby declare their opinion, after the investigation of the matter, and after putting the interrogatories prescribed by the War Department, that the above named applicant was a Revolutionary Soldier, and served as he states. And the Court further certifies, that it appears to them that A. B. who has signed the preceding certificate is a clergyman, resident in the                      and that C. D., who has also signed the same is a resident in the                      and is a credible person, and that their statement is entitled to credit.
I,                      Clerk of the Court of                      do hereby certify that the foregoing contains the original proceedings of the said Court, in the matter of the application of for a pension.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal of office, this                      day of                      &c.
Every applicant will produce the best proof in his power. This is the original discharge or commission; but if neither of these can be obtained, the party will so state under oath, and will then procure, if possible, the testimony of at least one credible witness, stating in detail his personal knowledge of the services of the applicant, and such circumstances connected therewith, as may have a tendency to throw light upon the transaction.
If such surviving witness cannot be found, the applicant will so state in his declaration, (l) and he will also, whether he produce such evidence or not, proceed to relate all the material facts, which can be useful in the investigation of his claim, and in the comparison of his narrative with the events of the period of his

alleged service, as they are known at the Department. A very full account of the services of each person will be indispensable to a favorable action upon his case. The facts stated will afford one of the principal means of corroborating the declaration of the applicant, if true, or of detecting the imposition, if one be attempted; and unless, therefore, these are amply and clearly set forth, no favorable decision can be expected. All applicants will appear before some Court of Record in the County in which they reside, and there subscribe and be sworn to, one of the declarations above provided, according to the nature of his case.
The Court will propound the following (m) interrogatories to all applicants for a pension, on account of service in the Militia, State troops, or Volunteers, except the Militia of New Hampshire and the State troops of Virginia.
 1. Where and in what year were you born?  2. Have you any record of your age, and if so, where is it?  3. Where were you living when called into service; where have you lived since the Revolutionary war, and where do you now live?  4. How were you called into service; were you drafted, did you volunteer, or were you a substitute? And if a substitute, for whom?  5. State the names of some of the Regular Officers, who were with the troops, where you served; such Continental and Militia Regiments as you can recollect, and the general circumstances of your services. 
 6. { To a Soldier. { Did you ever receive a discharge from the service, and if so, by whom was it given, and what has become of it? To an Officer. { Did you ever receive a commission, and if so, by whom was it signed, and what has become of it? 
 7. State the names of persons to whom you are known in your present neighborhood, and who can testify as to your character for veracity, and their belief of your services as a soldier of the Revolution. 
The Court will see that the answers to these questions are embodied in the declaration, and they are requested to annex their opinions of the truth of the statement of the applicant.
The applicant will further produce in Court, if the same can be done, in the opinion of the Court, without too much expense and inconvenience to him, two respectable persons—one of whom should be the nearest clergyman, if one lives in the immediate vicinity of such applicant, who can testify, from their acquaintance with him, that they believe he is of the age he represents, and that he is reputed and believed in the neighborhood to have been a Revolutionary soldier, and that they concur in that opinion. If one of these persons is a Clergyman, the Court will so certify, and they will also certify to the character and standing of other persons giving such certificates.
The traditional evidence of service is deemed very important, in the absence of any direct proof, except the declaration of the party. And the Courts are requested to be very particular in the inquiry whether the belief is general, and whether any doubts have ever existed upon the subject.
Applicants unable to appear in Court, by reason of bodily infirmity, may make the declaration before required, and submit to the examination, before a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record of the proper county, and the Judge or Justice will execute the duties, which the Court is herein requested to perform, and will also certify that the applicant cannot, from bodily infirmity, attend the Court.
Whenever any official act is required to be done by a Judge or Justice of a Court of Record, Clerk of the Court or County, under his seal of office, will be annexed, stating that such person is a his genuine signature.
No payments can be made on account of the services of any person, who may have died before the taking effect of the act of June 7, 1832; and in case of death subsequent thereto, and before the declaration herein required is made, the parties interested will transmit such evidence as they can procure, taken and authenticated before a Court of Record, showing the services of the deceased, the period of his death, the opinion of the neighborhood respecting such services, the title of the claimant, and the opinion of the Court upon the whole matter.
[a] The declarant must appear in open Court, unless prevented from doing so by reason of bodily infirmity; in which case the declarant will follow the rule laid down for his guidance.
[b] The declarant must make his declaration in the county where he resides. If he should fail to do so, he must assign a sufficient reason for not conforming to the rule.
[c] The age of the claimant must invariably be mentioned.
[d] The declarant must mention the period or periods of the war when he served.
[e] Every continental officer or soldier must give the name of the Colonel under whom he served; otherwise a satisfactory examination of the claim cannot be had. Every claimant must state, with precision, the length of his service, and the different grades in which he served, in language so definite as to enable the Department to determine to what amount of pension he is entitled. In a case where the applicant cannot, by reason of the loss of memory, state precisely how long he served, he should amend his declaration by making an affidavit in the following words:
"Personally appeared before me, the undersigned, a Justice of the Peace, &c. A. B. who, being duly sworn, deposeth and saith, that, by reason of old age, and the consequent loss of memory, he cannot swear positively as to the precise length of his service; but, according to the best of his recollection, he served not less than the periods mentioned below, and in the following grades:—For _____ year _____ months, and _____ days, I served as a _____ For _____ months and _____ days, I served as a _____; and for such service I claim a pension."
It is important, in all cases, to determine with precision the period for which each applicant served, and the particular rank he held, as the law directs the pension to be paid according to the grade of the pensioner and the length of his service. The use of the phrase about three or four months , is too indefinite, and all such qualifying expressions are objectionable. Some persons who apply for pensions merely state that they served two years in the militia, &c. without specifying the tours, the names of the officers, and other particulars respecting their service. This form of a declaration is highly objectionable. It must, in every case, be clearly shown under what officers the applicant served; the duration of each term of engagement; the particular place or places where the service was performed; that the applicant served with an embodied corps called into service by competent authority; that he was either in the field or in garrison; and for the time during which the service was performed, he was not employed in any civil pursuit.
[f] The law makes the relinquishment indispensable.
[g] The opinion of the Court is always required.
[h] The Clerk must give his certificate in every case.
[i] The Clerk must affix his seal, and if it has no device or inscription by which it can be distinguished from any other seal, or if he has no public seal of office, the certificate of a Member of Congress, proving the official character and signature of the certifying officer, should accompany the papers.
Mode of authenticating papers.
In every instance where the certificate of the certifying officer who authenticates the papers is not written on the same sheet of paper which contains the affidavit, or other papers authenticated, the certificate must be attached thereto by a piece of tape or narrow ribbon, the ends of which must pass under the seal of office of the certifying officer, so as to prevent any paper from being improperly attached to the certificate.
Proof of Service.
[j] In a case where the name of the applicant is not found on the records of the Department, he must prove his service by two credible witnesses who are required to set forth in their affidavits the time of the claimant's entering the service, and the time and manner of his leaving the same, as well as the regiment, company, and line to which he belonged. The magistrate who may administer the oaths must certify to the credibility of the witnesses, and the official character and signature of the magistrate must be certified by the proper officer, under his seal of office.
[k] The notes from [a] to [i] are all equally applicable to the cases of Militia men, Volunteers and State Troops. The proof required by rule in note [j] applies to continental troops only.
[l] This traditional evidence is indispensable in militia cases.
[m] If a witness cannot be found, the declarant must state the fact.
[n] The answers to the interrogatories must all be written, and sent to the War Department, with the declaration.

William Dougherty W. 4182 BA-J/AWF Cam
Mr. Harold Somers Brevoort Hotel Chicago, Illinois
Dear Sir:
The data furnished herein were obtained from papers on file in pension claim, W. 4182, based upon the service of William Dougherty or Daugherty in the War of the Revolution.
William Dougherty was born in the year 1754 in Chester County, Pennsylvania. The names of his parents were not given.
While a resident of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania on the Monongahela River, William Dougherty volunteered in the month of August, 1777 and served about three weeks as a private in the Pennsylvania troops under Colonel Thomas Gaddis, stationed at Fort Swearingen, and served one month later in that year in Captain Samuel Swindler's company, guarding against the invasions of the Indians. He enlisted September 1, 1778 and served in Captain James Dougherty's Daugherty's Company John Evans' Pennsylvania regiment, joined General McIntosh's expedition "a little below Fort Pitt", went by water to the mouth of the Big Beaver, where he assisted in building Fort McIntosh, went on and assisted in building Fort Laurens, and was discharged at Fort McIntosh March 1, 1779. He was afterwards called out on frequent alarms against the Indians. His service in all amounting to nine months and three weeks.
After the Revolution he lived about twelve years

in Bourbon County, Kentucky, then moved to Clinton County, Ohio, where he lived about thirteen years, thence to Delaware County, Indiana.
The soldier, William Dougherty, was allowed pension on his application executed February 12, 1834, at which time he was a resident of Delaware County, Indiana, where he had lived about five years.
He died in said Delaware County, September 1, 1841.
William Dougherty married in the State of Pennsylvania, September 19, 1775 or 1777, Lydia Cox.
She applied for pension July 25, 1846, then a resident of Wayne Township, Clinton County, Ohio, aged eighty-four years and "upwards". The pension was allowed.
The widow, Lydia Dougherty, died May 9, 1851 in Clinton County, Ohio; the following children survived her:
Bridget Bell of Highland County, Ohio; James Dougherty of Clinton County, Ohio; Hannah Reed of Clinton County, Ohio; William Dougherty of Delaware County, Indiana; Elizabeth Reed of Delaware County, Indiana; and Lydia Somers of Henry County, Indiana.
Samuel Reed born August 26, 1775, stated in 1851 that Bridget Dougherty, daughter of the soldier and wife, Lydia, was "about a year or two difference in our ages". Alfred Reed in 1851 was appointed by the Court of Clinton County, Ohio, administrator of the estate of the widow, Lydia Dougherty. It was not shown that there was any relationship between the Samuel and Alfred Reed, or that they were related to the daughters, Hannah and Elizabeth, referred to above.

Dear Sir:
Since the reception of yours dated Sept. 10 th 1846, sometime in January last, Mrs. Daugherty has been making enquiry amongst her children to see if any of them had a family record containing the date of her marriage with William Daugherty that was made over twenty years ago; and she informs me that neither she or any of the rest of them have any such records. As we have furnished you with what I suppose is the best attainable actual proof in this case I trust it will prove satisfactory as she is an old lady and needs the money.
Yours Respect.

Sometimes I am able to get the war records through the State Library, but where I do not know the State they served from, I will be obliged to ask your assistance, and I trust you will not think I am presuming on good nature in asking so much of you.
There are 1287 Revolutionary soldiers known to have lived some time in Indiana, and no doubt were buried here. I hope to have all of these records completed by the centennial, 1916.
Will you please obtain pension records for me of the following: John Riley , born in 1752, placed on pension roll of 1818 1782 while a resident of Orange Co., Indiana. Wife's name was Mary Mc Ilvaine.
Richard Arnold , born 1757 died in Dearborn Co., Indiana 1843. placed on pension roll of 1832 for 10 months service as private in Penna. militia. Married 1783 Mary Blackmore.
William Daugherty born in Chester Co., Penna., 1754 died in Delaware Co., Indiana Sept. 1, 1841 Married Lydia Cox Sept. 19, 1777. She was also a pensioner.
Any family records that may be on file with the pension record will be greatly appreciated.
Yours very truly,
Frances E. Emerson.
